Posted Friday at 01:20 PM Thanks Dann. The Trumpeter hood isn't 100% correct but is an improvement. I'll try to keep up the building momentum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tellya, you're so close to Daddy Warbucks in so many ways that you might as well take off the side trim and go ahead and DO DW. I don't think that trim removal would be too troublesome for someone of your skill. Go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Friday at 11:52 PM Truly insirational work JC! She's looking phenomenal and you're providing a great tutorial on all the steps your taking. I might have to buck up and try my hand at this with one of my Falcon kits, using your's as a guide. Best of luck with the headers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Saturday at 12:36 PM (edited) Thanks Tony. I'll study the headers and post any ideas of a better installation method I come up with. Would love to have the trim Removed Snake but don't want to risk the body at this point. I don't have a spare if I screw it up.

I'd always assumed that Daddy Warbucks and Gas Ronda were both Ford Poppy Red--a sort of reddish orange--but in this pic, Ronda's looks slightly but distinctly redder. Lighting/distance illusion? Two different colors? Two different "interpretations" of Poppy Red? Or just my imagination? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Saturday at 09:49 PM I took a screen shot of the picture and opened it up in Photoshop and used the color picker to examine the colors. I used both the rear pillar and the roof figuring these would have similar lighting characteristics. If anything the Gas Mustang is slightly redder although distance tends to make colors darker. There may be a slight variation but I think to the naked eye the colors would be the same unless you had the two different colors side by side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent builds both but it looks like they struggled with maintaining a sharp panel crease. Edited Sunday at 12:36 PM by afx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
